Excessive interatrial adiposity is associated with left atrial remodeling, augmented contractile performance in asymptomatic population

Excessive interatrial adiposity is associated with left atrial remodeling, augmented contractile performance in asymptomatic population

Purpose: Pericardial adipose tissue had been shown to exert local effects on adjacent cardiac structures. Data regarding the mechanistic link between such measures and left atrial (LA) structural/functional remodeling, a clinical hallmark of early stage heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF...
